"The Coach's" 3-Game Thursday Night NBA Playoff Pass (w/ THREE *10*s!)
(NBA) Chicago vs. Milwaukee,
Total: 187.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Loss
The Chicago Bulls have allowed Milwaukee to fight it's way back into this series, and the last thing they want to do is go back to Chicago for a Game 7. Give the Bucks full credit for extending this series as long as they have, but I think their runs comes to an end tonight. We've seen a trend of low scoring games in this series, but the total for tonight's game looks a little too low.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Bulls have seen the total go over in nine of their last 13 road games, and four straight when playing on two days rest.

2. Situational/Motivational - Any complacency the Bulls experienced when they led this series 3-0 has disappeared, and we can expect Chicago to match the intensity and desperation of the Bucks tonight. Pau Gasol summed it up by saying: "We're going to have to play the next game like it's the last game, not think that if we lose this one, we still have a chance, that we can play at home in Game 7. That would be a terrible mistake."

3. X-Factor - The over is 10-4 in Bulls last 14 Conference Quarterfinals games.

Selection: This is a play on the Bulls@Bucks to go OVER the total (10*)
